Abstract
This research work is a survey of Factors Responsible for low Enrolment of Student in science in colleges of education in colleges of education in Enugu State. It aims at finding out the various factors responsible for low enrolment of students in science education in colleges of education in Enugu state. Four (4) research questions were  raised.  Data were collected using questionnaire which were distributed randomly among selected students and lecturers from a government owned college of education and a private owned college of education in Enugu state. The data collected were analyzed using mean and a criterion mean of 2.5 was adopted and item whose mean value is less than this value were unaccepted and that within and beyond this value were accepted. The findings indicated that the factors responsible for low enrolment in science education in colleges of education in Enugu State are parental influence, peer group influence, Poor background knowledge of science at the secondary level   and students’ attitude towards science education. It was recommended that parents and guardians should not enforce courses on their wards. Students should understand that science is not a no man’s land as it is applied in our everyday life; school guidance and counselor should be made to organize regular career guidance to students, teachers salaries should be paid regularly; Parent and guardians should monitor their little ones interest and ability before enrolling into institution of higher learning; only qualified teachers should be employed to teach science subjects in secondary school where the foundation of science is laid; science  laboratories should be well equipped; science education inspector from both state and federal government should pay regular visits to the schools as this will help both the teachers and their students to work harder.
